About the series
A crime drama based on true events, telling the story of serial killer Dennis Nilsen. After his arrest, the police try to uncover what really happened inside his London flat over several years and determine how many people fell victim to him. Nilsen does not deny his crimes and even agrees to talk about them, but his calm demeanor and detached attitude toward what he has done only make the investigation more difficult. Detectives must piece together the events from his fragmented accounts, physical evidence, and human remains discovered in the house. At the same time, Nilsen’s lawyer prepares him for trial, where his mental state and criminal responsibility become central issues. The miniseries focuses less on the murders themselves and more on the interrogations, the legal proceedings, and the attempts to understand a man who managed to hide a horrifying secret for years.
